More Details Emerge In Levy County Sheriff's Office Investigation

Published February 12th, 2010

More action is being taken against a high profile family at the Levy County Sheriff's Office.

Sheriff Johnny Smith says that an investigation has been launched into a complaint against Susan Everett. Everett is the daughter of the number two man at the sheriff's office, Colonel Mike Johnson, who announced his retirement under pressure this week. Everett is also the sister of Deputy Chuck Johnson, who turned in his badge Thursday after a string of indiscretions.

Two letters written by Sheriff's Office employees in 2008 claimed that prescription pills went missing after Everett sat at another employee's desk.

Now 18 months later, an investigation is under way.

Sheriff Smith told TV20's Josh Rosenthal that he "dropped the ball" and the allegations should have been investigated then, but he's doing it now.
